when vice president biden was chairman of the foreign relations committee, he said on more than one occasion, good international relationships are always predicated on strong interpersonal relationships. john kerry understands that there is no substitute for strong interpersonal relationships, whether in senate politics or international diplomacy. secretary of state is not a desk job. it requires constant personal interactions and furtherance of american foreign policy. during his 30 years in public life and more than 25 years in the senate, senator kerry championed many issues. the senate foreign relations committee favorably reported his nomination to the senate unanimously and presented senator kerry with an honorary resolution highlighting a few of his many accomplishments. among his accomplishments are the partnership he formed with senator john mccain that led to an effort to investigate the fate of american soldiers unaccounted for in vietnam and normalize relations with a former enemy which is in essence vietnam. his leadership of difficult, sensitive and comprehensive investigations
